Excellent attorney, compassionate, transparent

My personal experience with Nancy was phenomenal. She always listened and provided honest, transparent information about my options and our path through the separation/divorce process. Nancy was always responsive to my questions and needs. She routinely kept me informed and provided all legal documen...ts I would need for the future. Although the process was filled with anxiety and stress, Nancy and her paralegal, Erin, made the process smooth and eased my anxiety and stress. I would highly recommend Nancy for your family law needs.

Professional and Efficient

Nancy Grace and her paralegal Erin were excellent handling my QDRO after my previous attorney messed things up. Their communications and work were clear and efficient. Even though Nancy is not the cheapest attorney, she made most of the time that was charged. I only wish Nancy Grace had represent...ed me through my divorce. It would have costed a lot less. I am glad I listened to recommendations from other attorneys to work with Nancy.

The Best!!

Nancy Grace took care of everything! She had the knowledge and experience to guide me through my difficult divorce. My Ex did not want to give me alimony and we had to fight an almost 2 year battle. But we prevailed and I am able to live comfortable now versus my fear of struggling to get by! She w...as able to calm me down when I was upset, talk me down when I felt like I couldn't go on, and lift me up when I was defeated.

great fit for me

I went to get some information months before I actually hired Nancy. Once I decided to move forward I never looked back. Nancy and her team kept the ball rolling, kept me informed, explained things as many times as I needed, gave me options, showed pro's and con's and was fair. In the end, my goal... was not to hurt anyone, I wanted my kids and I to get what was fair. Throughout this scary, daunting, messing time, the practice treated me kindly and in a calm manner.

Smart, savvy, level-headed representation -- highly recommend

I retained Nancy based on the recommendation of a friend who is himself a family law attorney in Raleigh. He described her as super smart, responsive, insightful, and highly respected among her peers (which matters). She is exactly that. All throughout a roughly six-month process including two day-...long mediations, Nancy kept a sharp focus on my settlement goals and dealt calmly and capably with every issue that came up. She pays attention to detail but definitely sees the "big picture," and she made sure that I did too. She's also a genuinely nice and friendly person, with a calm, "we got this" vibe, and that's her professional demeanor with all other parties involved as well. There's zero bluster and none of the posturing that could inflame already emotional situations while wasting time and money. In my case, she also went above and beyond by consistently and cheerfully making herself available all through the holidays and during her own personal time so that my spouse and I could meet some important deadlines. We were able to reach a settlement without having to litigate anything, but if it had come to that, I had total confidence that Nancy would proceed just as ably in court just as she had all along. Great office staff, too. I highly, HIGHLY recommend her. services.
